calling Initialize multiple times

[Brendan Reville <br...@tenzing.com>]

hi all,

Is it OK to call the XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize/Terminate pair of routines
multiple times in the one program?

And is there much overhead in doing this?

thanks

- Brendan

You should call XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize only once at the start of the
program,
and XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate at the end of the program.

No, its not ok to do that at this time. You can can away with multiple
Inits, since it will just ignore subsequent ones after the first. But don't
call terminate until the end of the program. Actually, you don't really have
to call it at all. Its primary reason for existence is to make folks happy
who want to check for leaks and such.

This has been addressed many times in this list.  You can call Initialize/Terminate multiple times if you want to, but only if you
want your application to crash.  The second call to Terminate will cause a null pointer access...

I've got a custom fix that keeps a reference count around the Init/Term calls to enable multiple calls, but for some reason the dev
team wants to only support calling this pair once per process.
